Giveaway: $150 gift card to Cloud 9 Living
Let me start by saying this is one of the most bizarre but also one of the most awesome giveaways I have ever done. It involves a helicopter ride and a box of crackers. I know. STAY WITH ME. I work in advertising so if anyone can guide you through this, it is me.
Pepperidge Farm has a new line of crackers called Jingos. They come in three BOLD flavors— Lime & Sweet Chili, Parmesan Garlic and Fiesta Cheddar. Jingos challenged me (a BOLD voice in blogging, natch) to have a BOLD snacking experience.
What's a bold snacking experience?
It's going to Cloud 9 Living (the online leader in experiential gifts) and selecting anything from a hot air balloon ride to a deep tissue massage to stock car racing lessons, and then taking your Jingos along for the journey.
WAIT. What?
It's called the "Jingos Live Bold Challenge" and I have accepted it, which means next week, I will be taking my free crackers on a helicopter ride over Manhattan, something I have always wanted to do but could never justify the expense.
I know— you have more questions. Let me do my best to answer them.
Aren't you 30 weeks pregnant? Are you sure you should be riding in a helicopter?
Haven't you ever watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy? Seriously injured people are airlifted to safety and medical care all the time. If I go into emergency labor, being in a helicopter is probably the best place I could possibly be!
Didn't Grey's Anatomy end last season with a helicopter plane crash?
Oh, right. Bad example.
That's awesome that you get to eat free crackers while giving birth high above Manhattan but what does all this have to do with your readers?
Well, Jingos isn't just offering me a bold snacking experience, they are offering one of you a bold snacking experience as well. One reader will win an $150 Cloud 9 Living gift card that can be put toward bungee jumping, dinner cruising, deep sea fishing, Fifty Shades of Grey reenactment classes or whatever else you would like to cross off your bucket list.
Plus, and this is the best part— you get three free boxes of Jingos crackers!
You want me to eat Fiesta Cheddar crackers while I am on a dinner cruise?
Alright, smart ass. That's enough from you. Unless you are planning to document the experience for a blog of your own, I'm pretty sure you are welcome to eat them in the comfort of your own home.
If you are up for the "JINGOS LIVE BOLD CHALLENGE" (and who wouldn't want to snack on crackers while living a life long dream?) please follow the giveaway rules below.

I want to take a surfing lesson while eating Parmesan Garlic Jingos!
I want to eat Lime & Sweet Chili, Parmesan Garlic and Fiesta Cheddar Jingo’s as I hike all 2168 miles, through 14 states, of the Appalachian Trail.

I have always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon while I eat Parmesan Garlic Jingo crackers!
I want to go sky diving with Lime & Sweet Chili Jingos!
I want to munch on Fiesta Cheddar crackers while watchiing my husband skydive … because skydiving is on his bucket list (eating crackers isn’t on mine – that would be weird!- but helping him fulfil his bucket list, is on my bucket list. And I hate heights. But love crackers. So seems like a fair split to me!)
I want to wrestly alligators while eating Parmesan Garlic Jingos! I figure the garlic breath will keep the gators from devouring me.
hot air balloon with Lime & Sweet Chili!

Going to Disney World with my kiddos has always been on my bucket list. Now that they are just about out of the house and I seem to easing into the joys of menopause (oh you bet your ass that was sarcasm), I’d love to finally take the kids to Disney and be a kid one more time myself. And since we are from the southwest originally the clear winner would be the lime and sweet chili crackers!
I want to learn to scuba-dive in the Caribbean with my Navy diver (and doctor) boyfriend, McDreamy. After we’re done, we can rest on the beach and feed each other Sweet Chile Lime Jingos while McDreamy does one-armed pushups, shirtless, in the shade of the palms.

I want to either take a hot air balloon ride or swim with the dolphins while eating Fiesta Cheddar Jingos. Not sure if Cloud 9 offers swimming with the dolphins, but it’s always been on my bucket list. Although my Jingos might get a little soggy in the process. So, as a back-up, I’ll take the hot air balloon ride – also a bucket list item.
I also subscribe to you and like you on Facebook. Duh.

MommyShorts’ example: “I want to ride bareback in the ocean while chowing down on Lime & Sweet Chili!”
I know you’re preggers and all, but riding bareback is still a risky behavior that I doubt Jingos would want associated with their brand. Unless, perhaps…you can get Trojan in on the giveaway to emphasize Safer Sex!
Personally, I want to scarf down some Lime and Sweet Chili while climbing the Empire State Building King Kong style!
